Rise of the Angel of Death

"And then I said to the yeti, tan up, and I sent him to the tropics, long story short he found a girl and I became his best man." Discord was seen with a solar guard who was tied up by his own spear.

"Please, I'm sorry about trying to attack you.... Just make it stop." The guard cried.

Luna walked up to Discord with a sly smile on her face. "Hello Discord, how are you this morning?" Discord turned back to Luna with an arched eyebrow.

"I'm fine Luna, how are you today?"

"I'm well, I have a proposition for you."

"Wait what about me?" The guard pony asked. Discord looked at the guard for a moment.

"If you be quiet, I'll let you out." Discord said. He looked at the princess. "So what you want to talk about?" He asked.

Celestia was holding court the door finally opened. "Hello sister." Luna said walking in.

"Luna your up early what do you wish to talk about?" She asked. The princess of the moon had the kind of look where you’re about to tell someone you’re in a relationship.

"I found someone I love, sister." Celestia was overjoyed at this news.

"Oh so who is the lucky mare or stallion?" She asked.

"It’s kind of not a pony, actually." Celestia thought for a moment.

"Who? a Dragon, a griffin? Oh please don't tell me it’s Malthael?" she asked.

"No sister it’s not. I've been in love with him for a long time, centuries even."

That narrowed it down to only a handful. "Who is it?" Celestia asked with barely contained anticipation. Behind Luna a head and body popped out.

"It’s me." It was.... Discord.

At seeing this, Celestia’s sanity went bye-bye. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" she screamed her mouth foaming at the seams and her body thrashing about until finally she was on the ground kicking about. Finally, her brain shattered. She twitched a bit while she had a blank expression. Discord recorded it all on a small video camera before putting it away.

Luna snickered at her sister's reaction. "She took that better than I thought she would." She said.

"I agree, dating you might be worth it just to get reactions like that out of Celestia." Discord added.

"For once we are in complete agreement Discord. Now go put Tia to bed, I have to take over day court until she can process this."

Discord snapped his fingers sending Celestia to her bed. After about an hour her brain finally rebooted. She moaned as she barely stood up. Her head hurt. "What happened?" She tried to remember but her brain refused to. Each time she did her head hurt. Finally she gave up. Afterwards Luna came walking up to her.

"Sister, are you alright?" Luna asked.

"No I have a block, did something happen?"

Discord appeared right next to Luna. "So you forgot that me and Lulu are together?" Celestia’s mind broke slightly.

"Very funny."

"What makes you think I'm joking?" Discord asked. Celestia shot him an unamused look.

"Okay, I suppose I had that coming. Lulu, would you tell her?"

"He's not playing a prank sister. I really am going to court Discord." Celestia's eye twitched and she took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'm not going to freak out. Would you tell me why you are going to date Discord?" Celestia asked with some semblance of her composed demeanor.

"I happen to enjoy a challenge, and some of Discord's jokes can be funny."

"Only some, Lulu?"

"A lot of your jokes had me at the butt of them." Luna replied shooting Discord a stern look.

Discord sighed. "Ok my bad."

Celestia almost wanted to scream. Her mind suddenly had a vivid hallucination. She saw her sister. "Good to see you sister."

"Momma, momma," a cross between an alicorn and what Discord was came running to them. "I did it, my first chaos!" The little filly said.

"Where’s your father?" Luna asked, smiling warmly at her child.

A pop into reality later Discord appeared. "You have no idea how fast that snowballed." The vision was gone as quickly as it had come.

"Ahhhh!" Celestia screamed, and with that unconsciousness. The two looked at Celestia.

"I wonder what all that was about?" Discord asked.

"I don't know, but we could always enter her dreams and find out."

"Ooh that sounds like a lot of fun. Lead the way, Lulu." Luna smiled up at the Draconequus and gathered the energy she needed to enter the dream realm. The two of them soon felt themselves drift away into the realm. Discord and Luna reappeared in a misty area filled with doors. "So, this is the dream realm." Discord said. "I must say whoever decorated this place needs to be fired."

Luna rolled his eyes at him, "This is the collective consciousness of all dreamers, it doesn't have an interior decorator."

"It was a jo…never mind let's just find out where Celestia's dream is." They suddenly got slammed by a current. "What was that?" He asked. Luna moaned.

"I rarely enter during the day because I somehow get slammed into other parts of the dream realm." Luna said. Discord stood up.

"Hey that’s not funny." No sound was heard. "Don't make me come up there." The dream realm became floating bubbles with land masses.

"Who were you taking to?" She asked. Discord looked at her a bit.

"Oh it was nothing I kinda have a certain awareness." He finished. They were suddenly grabbed into a bubble. They found Celestia looking at the three terrors of her mind.

"It’s raining chocolate at night, and we are very happy." Luna Discord and a filly hybrid said.

"Enough, enough, this is not happening." Suddenly Celestia changed into something like Nightmare Moon. "At last, Solar flare!" They were suddenly pushed out.

"Oh my Chaos." They were thrown back into the real world. "Celestia has her own version of Nightmare Moon inside her soul." Discord said.

Discord and Luna rubbed their heads and both had a look of panic on their faces. "Discord, what the hay just happened?!" Luna cried.

"I don't entirely know. We may have caused Celestia enough stress to allow the darkness in her soul to take over. Or it may have just been part of the dream. I can't be completely sure, dreams are your expertise not mine."

"I haven't seen anything like this either. I've never been forced out of the dream realm before." Discord took a deep breath and steadied his nerves.

"Okay, we can't panic. This might be nothing. We should just have some guards monitor her and make sure there are no changes with her. I'll place a barrier that should keep her in her room, so even if she has given into darkness then she won't go anywhere. Now, let's go deal with day court and pray for the best."

"That sounds good." Luna agreed with a nod. The two exited the room and Discord placed his barrier around Celestia's bedchambers. The two started down the hallway and Discord chuckled.

"On a completely unrelated but hopefully calming note, that filly Celestia imagined us having, was adorable." Luna giggled and looked back to the lord of chaos.

"She was, in her own little chaotic way of course."
